Pandavanpara, one of the most popular destinations in the South Indian state of Kerala, is believed to be the hiding spot of Pandavas, of the Mahabharata fame, and thus holds great religious significance for Hindus.

Chengannur is a small municipal town tucked in the extreme eastern part of Alappuzha, Kerala. It may not be as popular as other towns of Kerala, but its religious importance has grabbed the attention of many pilgrims in different parts of India. The sanctum sanctorum of Chengannur Bhagavathy is a sprawling temple complex, which is believed to be the oldest and most famous in Alappuzha. The two presiding deities, Lord Shiva and Devi Parvati are worshipped by devotees for wealth, prosperity and better living.
